BILL OF THE WEEK
THE CRACK Baby, a favourite with Chelsea property developers, isn’t as illegal as it sounds. But still – judging by the 26 vodka and champagne concoctions of the same name a party of 14 socialites got through when they visited Eclipse – the drink is just as addictive as its Class-A namesake. As is the watermelon martini, the Walton Street bar’s signature cocktail ordered by the group both individually and as the Total Eclipse super-size version, and one the venue claims to sell 40 tonnes of each year. A quick scan of its ingredients list suggests why that might be – the watermelon contains citrulline, which converts in the kidneys to arginine, which is the amino acid produced in synthetic form to make…Viagra. Valentine’s Day, in case you had forgotten, is tomorrow.
